Many thanks guys. This Brickboard needs donations cuz it is great and I want it to stay around awhile. The impact wrench did not work due to that bolt being REAL tight and my compressor being REAL small. SOOO, I used the "rope a dope" method and bingo!, it worked. Sweet. I think I had this trouble a few years ago and actually put a breaker bar on it (on another car) with the end of the bar snug on the drivers side and then bump cranked it and it worked. Someone emailed me about that today, too late, and then I remembered. Tightening might be tricky that way though. I cannot remember. I like the rope method. I like it best cuz it's cheap. My wife cannot understand it, though. "You ran a rope into your engine to loosen that nut? You're the nut!" Oh well.
